COBIT is a set of documents that provides guidance for computer security. This report introduces COBIT by answering the following questions, after first defining acronyms and presenting definitions: 1. Why is COBIT valuable? 2. What is COBIT?, and 3. What documents are related to COBIT? (The answer to the last question constitutes the bulk of this report.) This report also provides more detailed review of three documents. The first two documents--COBIT Security Baseline{trademark} and COBIT Quickstart{trademark}--are initial documents, designed to get people started. The third document-Control Practices-is a ''final'' document, so to speak, designed to take people all the way down into the details. Control Practices is the detail.
